Hollow

Most of the people around me are dead already
Their eyes are like the eyes of dead fish
Resigned to their fate to die a slow suffocating death
Their walk has lost the bounce and vigour of childhood, to grow up to be walking dead

Is this the world we want to live in?
A world where we are alive because we have no other choice?
We have made machines our new masters
Slowly everyday we handover the reins of our lives to them as we slide into a lifeless stupor

Wake up mankind wake up
We have not come this far only to get no far from here
We are not going to write our epitaph just yet
We survived because we are fighters
Solution seekers and rain makers

Let's retrace our footsteps
Let's rediscover the way our forefathers lived
They had difficult lives but they were more alive than we are today

We are like the Dracula, someone who is blessed to live forever as long as he is willing to be more dead than alive

Is this the best we can do?
The mankind - creator of the gods, the heaven and the hell.
The creators of great mythologies and histories.

Let's wake up and wake up soon
Cos time is just running away fast
Like a bleeding wound losing too much blood

It's time to take a few steps towards a more minimalistic life
Where humans are the centre and machines obey us
Let's work hard and sweat like pigs
Let's move mountains by strength of huge  armies
Let's recreate the passion for living and not merely staying alive
Let's not die slowly but live quickly with firing enthusiasm for every moment we are alive

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Love is all around me!

I remember this peppy song from my childhood with these lyrics love is all around me, everywhere I go...I have forgotten the singer, the lyrics and everything about this song. But these few lines have stayed with me all these years.  Truly, if we look around, there is so much to love and be grateful for....from the view of the rising sun from my balcony, to the books I read, to the food I eat and the energy I feel within. It's beautiful. The whole universe is within us and there is so much to be happy about....only if we truly open our eyes and see. Life is so tiny. Today we are alive but tomorrow we may not be. So why not inhale all the beauty around so that when we close our eyes in the night, we feel the divine bliss within and cherish it, without a regret in the world. It's a beautiful life, I feel pity for thr people who waste it hating ! May God bless their souls and may they too learn to see the beauty all around, so that this earth can truly become a beautiful place to ...

Humanity you chose wrong!

The caves were dark. Suffocating. But the journey outside the caves has pushed mankind into deeper darkness. It is because we have probably made the wrong choices as a race, together. We are all partners in the crime and the victims too. We should have been driven by 'need' but we chose 'greed' to drive us. The clear skies over our heads , bright sunshine and the twinkling lovely stars, showed us the way to eternity but we chose to hear our own self -doubts. We dulled our insecurities by preying on the weaker species in an attempt to feel powerful. We hid behind our science toys to take on the mighty nature. Look at us now! How miserably failure we have turned out as a race. We have killed the nature with our little experiments and excursions trying to justify as progress... Put you hand on your heart...have we really progressed...other than discovering better toys to keep ourselves mused, have we really achieved anything worthwhile, we the humans? We still can'...
